Take a break from traditional mashed potatoes and make these creamy sweet potatoes instead. They are blended with plain Greek yogurt to create a rich texture in this colorful side dish that would be welcome at any dinner table or a Thanksgiving potluck. These sweet potatoes are simply seasoned with just garlic, a little sugar, salt, and pepper, but you can boost the flavor with fresh herbs. Both sage and rosemary would be delicious and complement other fall flavors. Feel free to mash these to your preferred consistency, mashing the potato mixture less for more texture and more for maximum smoothness.
